The Absolute Fend


A mind is at work 
 not today but always 
 do this with a strength 
 do that with an attention 
 commands the mind 
 lets not the body to rest in peace 
 as the heart beats all along 
there be no rest either way 
 that be the life of a man 
 not a lazy one at the last 
 but one of the man with aim 
 breathes he never with a relax 
 strides all the more with a fret 
 the mins is never at rest 
 as in motion it is at inertness. 
 a  relevance that is beyond fend
 has a lot of meaning in the flow 
 not taken in without a blow 
 the mind reaps and reaches the end 
 well , that be its absolute fend.

The Competitions.


The competitions on the television

 breaks the nerve and the vision

 the practice and rehearsal done with strain

 kills the spirit  all the more in the reign

the make ups and the dress go beyond 

 the feel and the tempo is range bound 

the child or whoever it be the participant 

never attains the coveted recipient.super singer

loses her innocence in the curriculum

 there is nothing agog  in the referendum 

while the little one undergoes  a swish 

fails to enjoy the childhood bliss 

a punishment  it would be 

which earns a fame and glee

from which the child would love to flee.

That Be The End.


Sleep for a little while

 sleep in style

 not on the beds of Nile

 but over the file 

 that too in a guile 

 tell all you are busy

 your head goes dizzy

 your eyes see things hazy

 you then go crazy

succumb to the fantasy 

fall into the greasy

 that be the end really.

 

 

 end of the world

The Day Out.


A day out  not in my schedule 

a home bird always in a seclude

 had been out all throughout the day

on an errand different in all ways 

not used to such strain in the mode

as all different from the code 

 climbed up and down with a zest 

 a trial to put the  very best

 did so with a focused note

 got caught in the foot note 

the effort  turned a zero

ran back to my exclusive bureaubusy day

into the cocoon of solitude 

 where I live with fortitude.

What To Do?


A little while ago

a flood of phone calls    

 a stream of visitors 

 a deluge of work

 a  kind of storm in the house 

 though not in the real sense

 unbearable and beyond 

 sat baffled for a moment deluge

hands on the head 

dazed I was for a second 

 knew not what to do?

a run away could save 

 jumped out of the window 

strode  into the wilderness

 a whiff of fresh air

struck the face

 rejuvenation  at last.

That Is Me


forgetfulnessForgetfulness has become my way.

I do everything with ease   and control

 compile the specifications in detail

 arrange them in order with precision

 ready be they for presentation

at the moment of delivery 

 likely I forget the core  all the more 

 walk on to the dais with dignity

 rummage through to find the documents

 not to find them tin the file

 go with an extempore address

all from the memory that resumes work

 finally end up with an applause

 what did I do ? i not remember 

 once again forgetfulness sets in.

The Helpless Woman


The woman bemoans and cries
unable to keep quiet
breaks down in a sigh hlpless woman.
takes not a bite
rants in rancour
swears in anger
mind she not
who it be in slot
be her son or husband
she fumes and disbands
lets out her emotions
not in small portions
pours out in full force
if that be her chose
the life would not be smooth
to tell the truth.

Is he Always so?


A man of no merit  
 nor of any credit 
talks of his wealth 
 gathered by stealth 
 says he with pride 
 takes everyone by ride 
 he is a the wealthiest of all 
 none could reach his tall 
 has lands all over the place 
 most of them round his base 
 his business is prosperous  
 goes on he in such rapturous  
the listener wants to run off  
 his brag is too much of an off 
he talks so not on one or two occasions  
has been a practice on all sessions 
 a man has turned senile I think so 
Is he always like that? I do not know. brag

 dream

 
I had a dream
it was in a stream
water was in gleam
the sunlight fell on the beam
the ambience was in a seam
Indeed, it was a lovely dream.
 
Set sail in the boat swiftly
saw a whale deadly
moved towards me rapidly
blinked for a moment hopelessly
Indeed, I sat there ghastly.
 
The whale dashed against the boat
tossed and turned it on the float 
down I went into the moat
engulfed by the whale stout
Indeed, it was a total rout.
 
I cried bitterly in fear
felt a nudge from the rear
the situation was out of gear
thought the end was near
Indeed, it was a panic jeer.
 
The alarm rang for long
I woke up to a song
caught my foot in the wrong
staggered in a way oblong
Indeed, it was a dream all along.

The Context.


the help does come 

not from known

 always from the unknown

 a phenomenon often felt

 the hand that turns away 

 is one of the nearest relation

 the fingers that lead you 

 are that of the strangers

 awaken to the truth 

 go ahead with hope 

 someone would come 

 to help you out .

 

fingers
